Art of the Spa

Though January is over, we’re still obsessing over Dr. No’s (our James Bond film for January) escape.  For instance, it’s kitted out with copper.  From the automatic sliding pushbutton doors, to the elevators and walls, bright shiny copper glams up the place. Spas are no stranger to copper either.  With a gorgeous aesthetic and renowned [...]

Tomorrow is the Superbowl!  And I couldn’t help but think about how hard and cold those stadium benches are.  So we’ve picked a few 007 inspired gadgets to add a bit of cush for a comfy spa tush! Heck, even if you’re just watching the game on the tube, these seats bring a little stadium [...]

  Give me a S-P-A!  What does that spell?  One key to feeling spa-wesome at home is to rock that body and have fun doing it!  So in honor of the Superbowl we’re bringing you a retro glamorous Cheer styled workout! Now I was a non-cheerleader in school (though I tried), so I was intrigued [...]

In honor of the Superbowl, we decided to ferret out sports arenas with spas.  Can you believe there are only two in the world? Let’s get on the ball, really owners, is this not the perfect place for ladies to lounge while hubs is taking in the game? First up: Spa LaQua at the Tokyo [...]

The end of January is upon us and it’s our last few days of Dr. No spa style (February will be “The Spy Who Loved Me” month!)   And we haven’t finished saluting Dr. No’s fortress.  Who knows how to hide away better than the bad guys?  Don’t they seriously always have the best digs? [...]

Remember the funky partially submerged home we shared earlier this week?  The one inspired by Dr. No’s lair?  Well, if you don’t feel like submerging your stress at home, how about at this underwater spa in the Maldives? Yup, Huvafen Fushi’s Lime Spa operated by Per Aquum has the world’s first underwater treatment rooms where [...]

This week, in our search for James Bond bliss, we’re focusing on Dr. No’s evil underwater lair.  Think living inside of a giant aquarium would be relaxing?  Did you know that watching fish swim can drop blood pressure up to 10 points? Well, we think the inhabitants of this spa house must have the lowest [...]

Part of Dr. No was filmed at the Sans Souci resort in Jamaica which, lucky for us, is still in business!  It’s now a couples retreat, perfect for Valentine’s Day coming up!, and we went undercover to bring you a taste of the resort . . . plus a few ideas for bringing it home! [...]

Well it’s January and we’re welcoming it with a No – Dr. No that is – this month’s James Bond theme is the very first caper.  As I watched the trailer below, something caught my eye right away. The bedding that the villianess is lying on. . . it’s got a metallic gold ruffle on [...]
